Life science research is and will increasingly be shaped by infrastructure that supports it. At the beginning of Big Data biology, this meant funding sequencers and computers and while we still need those, we also need to become smarter. Increases in our ability to solve the big problems in biology have come as much from scaling people (through training, sharing of practices, and collaboration) as they have from cheaper sequencing or faster processors.
